PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Mayor Nutter and Philadelphia’s legislative delegation are calling on Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett to immediately release state money that would allow city schools to open on time.

But they’re getting a cool reception to the idea.

The city’s legislative delegation says if the state sends $45 million already okayed by the Pennsylvania legislature, then Philadelphia schools superintendent William Hite would have nearly the $50 million he says he needs by Friday to open schools on time (see related story).
